I wonder how good the car is in other areas like top speed and such

It has an effective power output of 153kW, was electronically limited to 80mph but that will be increased to 102mph, and provided the car has been fully charged, it will have an estimated range of 640 miles.

All of that can be readily found on GM's website and is probably regurgitated in wikiplodia.

Wade...since you don't seem to work, and therefore PAY for the car or the gas, of course you wouldn't value MPG.

I for one dont' think it will get 230 mpg. Not in a colder climate where the battery will rundown faster....

Rollo, I think the 640 mile range was the number originally used for the concept. I guess to save weight, they're trimming the size of the fuel tank. The estimated (total) range that I've recently heard is around 400 miles (360 fuel/40 electric).
